After the committee arose Senator Hall,
Of Renville, offered resolution to have the
committee on retrenchment and reform ex-
anime into the necessity of the fish commits
sion, and all other state appointive offices,
with view to having such offices as are
unnecessary abolished He said an insnua-
alton had been made that many of such offices
were simply created by the Republican
party to afford sinecures for persons having
performed political service. That such was
the case he doubted. He was a Republi-
can, and was proud OF it, but he wished to
ascertain if there were any grounds for the
insinuation referred to. His resolution
was adopted, and it looks as if his challenge
would be met.

Carnival Notes.

As many people have been inside the
palace grounds during the last four days as
passed through the gates during the first
two weeks of the carnival last year. The
attendance inside the park on the night of
the storming was just about the same as
the total at the two stOrmingS a year ago.
Yesterday the park was almost black at
times with visitors who looked with wonder
and admiration on the crystal structure and
wandered through its icy halls. The
Indians did a pretty good business,
for the strangers were anxious to look
inside the tepees at nickel look. The
toboggan slides were alive and the the rinks
were black with skaters. The park has
many attractions. ana visitors, more par
ticularly those from out of the city. spend
hours there, apparently finding new points
of interest at every turn. The manage
ment is more than satisfied with the success
of the carnival up to date, and to keep up
the interest will add new features to the
programme next week.

and Old Settlers.
One of the features of the carnival yes
terday was the peculiar parade representing
epochs of travel in the Northwest. The
procession was formed at Seven corners
amid large crowd of spectators, and shortly
after 2 o'clock moved down Third street,
along the regular line of march to the car
nival grounds. The procession was headed
by six mounted police, followed by the
Columbia Metropolitan band of fifteen
pieces. Next came band of forty Indians,
reSplendent III war paint and clothes of all
the coIors in the rainbow. and many that
nature would be ashamed to own. They
wore full Indian costumes with fancy
feather head dresses, each one carried a
spear, and they marched to the note of the
tom-tom like military company in open
order. Then followed two premature In
dian carts drawn by ponies, one of which
was ridden by buck and the other led by a
sQuaW. Twenty sQuaWs ensconced in
followed, and the rear of the In
dians was covered by two bucks on
ponies. Then followed five teams of Hud-
son bay dogs, of three animals each, draw
ing sledges full of children. Each team
was managed by an Indian driver. A
moose harnessed in a sledge, an elk draw
ing a fancy cutter and a donkey hitched in
a diminutive pung followed in order. The
rear line was brought up by two old thor
Ough- brace coaches, genuine

They were driven also by two stage drivers,
W no are the Oldest drivers in the state, Doc
Capen and Winnebago Jack, who guided
their four horses as if cutting across the
prairie to some never heard Of outpost of
civilization. These coaches were manned
by old settlers of the state who, as well as
their driver, footed horns i'll imitation of
the early days. The occupants of the
coaches were:
First coach, driven by Winnebago Jack
President MaXfeld. of the Ice Palace associ-
alton, John St. Aubin, owner Of the coaches,

Broken Her Engagement.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 21.-''Nina Van
Zandt will not come here. Of that you can
rest assured" said Mrs. John Arthurs, the
young lady's aunt, this afternoon.
''Where will she go, if she leaves Chic
cago?"
THAT cannot say just now, but she
will probably be sent to some place con-
venient to Chicago, where she can secure
that rest and quiet of which the poor dear
girl stands SO badly in need of. The exact
location of her retreat has not been decided
upon, but it will not be far from Chicago,
as my sister, Mrs. Van Zandt, is subject to
heart disease and would be unable to stand
the fatigue and diScomforts of a long Jour-
ney. / consider my niece
SWEET AND PURE-AINDED CHILD
whose emotions have been played upon
until she believed that she was in love with
this man. She is perfectly ignorant of the
ways of the world. the greater portion of
her life having been spent among books. 1
wish to enter my protest that l did not
make the remark that 1 would sooner leave
my money to the dogs if this unhappy
marriage was allowed to take place"
rs there any doubt that the engagement
is broken OFF,
Il tnink not, altnough have received
no late word, but I believe that the
family are gradually coming to their
senses, and that they will not be the first
ones to cast blot on the name they bear.
When the word was first received it threw
father on a bed of sickness, and this is the
first day he has been able to come down
stairs. No one knows of the efforts we
have made to prevent this marriage, and
We are very thankful to Sheriff Matson for
his assistance. 1 sincerely trust that this
will end the notority which has been thrust
On our family, and that the matter may be
allowed to drop into oblivion"

While and Avoid Further
Notoriety.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 21.-A startling
story OF depravity and vice was laid before
the house judiciary committee yesterday by
Representative Bartlett Breen, of Menom-
lnee. Mr.. Breen has been investigating
for some time the stories of the manner in
Which young girls were inveigled from
Cnlcago, Milwaukee, st. Louis and Cana
dian cities into the lumber regions of the
upper peninsula. A revolving state of
things has been unearthed.
''There is perhaps no other place in rhe
country" said Mr.. Breen. s'where such a
state OF deprav1ty exists. In new settlements
the trade In young girls has come to be an
established business. Advertisements and
cunning oevlces are used in coaxing work
ing girls from their homes. The girls are

girls running away. In one case which bad

being shot in the leg, and took refuge in a
swamp The dogs were let loose on her trail,

which Chicago girl of undoubted respecta-
bility was kidnapped. She was decoyed from
an honorable life by an advertisement offer

she had nearly reached her destination she
for the first time learned the horrible life she
was going to, and sought to turn back, but
was compelled by force to go on
In order to stop this inhuman traffic Rep
resentative Breen and Representative
Thompson, of Delta, are urging two meas
ures. In these efforts they are seconded by
Circuit Judge Grant, of Houghton, and by
the public opinion of the upper peninsula.
In committee of the whole this afternoo on
the house of representatives passed the
Breen bill for the suppression of the infa-
nous dance houses in the Upper peninsula,
an account of which is given above.

Noisy.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-By order of the
marshal. women were to-day excluded from
the courtroom, where the Emmons Iunacy
trial is in progress. On many occasions
during the progress of the case women
present have INDUCED in such noisy manis
feStationS oil sympathy with Mrs. Emmons
cause as to call forth, yesterday, very
positive protest from the opposing counsel,
the justice of which the marshal recog-
nlZed by issuing an order excluding women
from the room. Soon after Lawyer Kent
arrived this morning he was handed a note,
which read as follows:
Mr.. Kent: There are q few ladies here who
want to be admitted TO the courtroom and
promise to remain perfectly quiet during the
proceedings We appeal to you to ask the
III arshal to admit, fully appreciating the pa
tience and gallantry which you have shown
under very trying circumstances.

THE PROCEEDING OPENED.
however. without any appeal being made
to the marshal on behalf of the gentler sex.
Mrs. Emm0nS kept her compact with her
attorney and did not appear to-day DR..
Lincoln was recalled to the stand and said
he thought Mrs. Emmons had unusual ca
pacity for managing her affairs. DR.. A. G.
P. Garnett, of this city, was next called.
He did not consider Mrs. Emmons an in
sane woman. DR.. j. Ford thereupon was
called to stand and testified that he was
asked by DR.. Lincoln to see Mrs. Emmons
few weeks ago, to examine her mental
condition. He had an interesting CONVEX
sation with her. He was impressed with
hQ moi che
man. He did not think she was insane.
The defense announced that they had but
one more witness to examine. Adjourned
to Monday.
